LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - David Hasselhoff is in talks to appear on NBC's "Knight Rider," reprising his role as Michael Knight from the original series. Also cast in the movie/pilot is Deanna Russo of "The Young & the Restless," who will play the female lead opposite fellow soap star Justin Bruening.

"Rider" is a sequel to the 1980s series that centers on Mike Tracer (Bruening), Michael Knight's son who never knew his dad.

Burned by his love for childhood best friend and one-time girlfriend Sarah Kamen (Russo), Mike is wasting away in Las Vegas when Sarah reappears and is willing to pay off Mike's gambling debt in exchange for help.

Sarah is the brilliant estranged daughter of KITT inventor Charles Kamen, who works as an assistant professor in the engineering department at Stanford. When she receives word from talking-car KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand) that her father is missing, she and KITT set out to find and recruit Mike.

It will air again Sat. Feb. 23 at 9pm ET on NBC.

Damn i missed it again. I didn't know it was coming on this past weekend. Is it gonna air one more time or that's it?

You can watch it on nbc.com as well. I saw it, it was OK. They created this Charles Graiman who was never mentioned in the original series.

I saw Knight Rider on Saturday, Feburary 23, 2008 at 12:30 pm and I have to say the movie was so great I think they should make it into a Regural Series
